Zvezda is doing a 1/144 Il-62M!!!


Recommended Posts

Yes indeed it says that according to Google Translate. I must say, I find the Il-76 more interesting than the -62!

Yes for me also! Trumpeter kit is also good, but engine nacelles looks little bit odd, but if Zvezda incorporate tehnology from their 787 kit, it would be great!

Translation from the Zvezda FB page:

Yesterday, Chief Editor of "M-Hobby" Nikolai Polikarpov Lobnensky visited the factory and made ​​these spy photos of the new Yak-3 in 1/48. Under terrible tortures head "Stars" Konstantin Krivenko admitted that preparing to be released in 1/144 - IL-62 and IL-76 (both proprietary), and "Eaglet" and the Tu-22 ("MS" or not confessed) will repackage from Revell :).

I'm think Zvezda's models will sell in all shops, where its were aviliable untill now, it is not oil or gas, Zvezda have good reseller outside of Russia, btw many Ukranian webshops - good sourse of Russian models for western modellers, there it is two big differences - politica and buisness.

Yes, we're one of those good resellers. Or at least trying to be - there has been nothing from Zvezda that came to our distributor recently (and I think the same goes for the US); the A320s were supposed to be here in August (which was already way too late), and right now nobody seems to know what's going on. I hope you can appreciate that the last thing I want is for our customers to be buying kits we should have from online stores, wherever they may be. Perhaps it's just a stupid delay somewhere, but I am annoyed that we still don't have the 320s, hence my previous comment.

... it is not oil or gas ... there it is two big differences - politica and buisness.

Generally speaking (not saying that Russian model kits have been banned from Canada or anything), when politics result in trade restrictions or sanctions, that has just about everything to do with business. Not quite sure what you were trying to say. Also, a lot more than oil and gas gets involved.
